Fate/Stay Night: Saber 09

When Arturia was only fifteen, her father, King Uther passed away. With no known eligible heir to the throne, Britain entered a period of turmoil following the growing threat of the Saxon invasion. It was then that Merlin approached her and explained that the British people would recognize her as a destined ruler if she draws Caliburn, a ceremonial sword embedded in a large slab of stone. However, pulling this sword was also symbolic of accepting the hardships of a monarch, and Arturia will bear the responsibility of preserving the welfare of her people. She drew Caliburn without hesitation and shouldered Britain’s mantle of leadership.

Impressive cosplay by Izuru(いづる)! I really love the detailing in her armor as well as her dress! She even has Saber’s signature ahoge. Thanks to Jenny for sending this in!
